Four years ago, when stepping onto the Stonehill College campus as a freshman, I probably would've laughed if someone told me I'd graduate four years later and work full-time for myself as a marketing consultant. Sure, I'd always dreamed of owning a business - but I also always had limiting beliefs that made me feel as though I had to conform to a "societal belief" that I MUST work for corporate America before going off on my own. These past four years have been full of change - attending college, taking care of my mom as she battled terminal brain cancer, and growing a business when everyone else thought I shouldn't - but it all is what makes me, well, ME.
